The Temple of Elemental Evil was originally intended to bear the module code T2 and serve as a true sequel to The Village of Hommlet. Based on the outcome of these encounters, the player characters can then enter the Temple itself to interact with its many denziens and test their mettle against Zuggtmoy herself. In the next section of T1-4, the adventurers move on to the nearby village of Nulb to confront several nefarious opponents, including agents from the Temple. The T1 standalone module, and thus also the first part of T1-4, culminates at a ruined moathouse where agents secretly plan to re-enter the Temple and free the demoness Zuggtmoy, who is imprisoned therein. Adventurers traveling through Hommlet are drawn into a web of conspiracy and deception in the T1 adventure.
